Abyssal Lord Of The Magi World-Novel

Close to the Magi World's Crystal Wall, eleven powerful individuals stared at the distance with serious expressions. All of them had enormous amounts of energy inside their bodies, capable of flooding an entire continent. Still, as they saw the explosions occurring in the void, they understood that their power was insignificant compared with the universe's supreme powerhouses.

The distance between them and the battlefield was enormous, and even the faster of them would need several weeks to reach it. However, they could still see the supernovas provoked by the battle, and the energy touched their faces.

The great organizations' leaders teleported here the moment Gods' Tomb connected with the Crystal Wall.

As they marveled themselves with the blast provoked by powers beyond their comprehension, they also used their consciousness to inspect the Gods' Tomb.

The Transitional Plane was an artifact whose complexity could compare with the universe's core laws, and none of the leaders had great hopes about their endeavor. Still, even if they only decipher a tiny part, the benefits would be immense.

The hours passed, and as the battle in the other extreme of Gods' Tomb grew in intensity, more people began to arrive.

They were the leaders' descendants and famous people of the great organizations. Among them were Roku and the red-haired Eye Holder.

Accompanying the King of the Scientia Kingdom were two young men with similar features but different auras. One was like an endless ocean that nothing could affect, while the other was a raging tsunami that could annihilate anything in its path.

While both were heavenly talents, it was the older one who inspired fear in the leaders' eyes. The young man with dark hair and green eyes was the First Prince of the Scientia Kingdom, and unlike the rest of his compatriots, he had a ferocious personality.

One leader showed even more fear than the rest regarding the First Prince. She was the Frost Monster Heart's leader, Shikra.

Accompanying the blue-haired woman was a young man with animal tattoos all over his body. Just like the rest, he looked at the void, but from time to time, he glanced to a city behind them.

The city shone with golden light and was small compared to the capitals of the great organizations. The defensive systems in it were sturdy, but any of the leaders could overcome them with ease.

Despite all that, this golden city was a forbidden place that none of them dare to get close to. Right now, they were all above the Endless Forest that connected with that city, but they were cautious about being outside of the airspace demarcated by Zatiel all those years ago.

To Rank 5 and 6 life forms, the City of the Sun was known as the Forbidden City, since entering it would mean death.

The young man showed nothing as he stared at the City of the Sun. After a moment, he turned around and noticed Shikra looking at him.

The Magus said nothing, but there was a clear message in her eyes. Everybody knew the cruelty of Zatiel Daybreak, and she did not doubt that if something happened to his people, the young man would not be the only one to die.

The leader and their followers kept staring at the distant battlefield and saw how those supernovas only grew more potent by the minute.

As the second day started, the leaders felt something odd and turned around before focusing on the Forbidden City. They could see with perfect clarity how every member of the Daybreak Clan kneeled at the same time, with respect and admiration on their faces.

Contrary to what they expected to see, the one who appeared was not Zatiel Daybreak but someone else. He was a handsome man with white hair, a perfectly balanced body, and an aura born of constant slaughter and tyrannical might.

As he looked at the people kneeling, this killing demon showed a smile full of kindness along with a powerful sense of responsibility.

What drew the leaders' attention was how the natural energy and Origin Power entered this man's body, not by force, but by their own volition.

Ezequiel looked to the sky, and his eyes became empty of any emotion. White lightning gathered in his right arm, and like if it was a blade, he used it to cut space and form a portal.

After going through it, Ezequiel appeared less than one hundred meters away from the group.

Now that he was in front of them, the Soul Law Domain existences had a better understanding of him, and they detected the force of almost ten laws.

Usually, Rank 6 life forms disdain those who trained many laws simultaneously since they do it to compensate for their poor comprehension. However, all the Supreme Neo-Demon's laws had reached the Initial level, even the Law of Space and the Law of Time.

When Ezequiel appeared, one of the leaders showed a smile and immediately greeted him.

"Invictus, it has been a long time since we last saw each other." John Erick Rebellion spoke those words with an amicable expression and signaled the Supreme Neo-Demon to get closer.

The moment they heard the name Invictus, a peculiar expression appeared in the other leaders' faces. His appearance had changed a lot since the last time he showed himself in the Magi World, but they recognized the man who killed a Soul Forging existence with a single strike while being a Rank 3 life form.

Many of the followers showed immense envy in their eyes as they saw Ezequiel. In their minds, the only reason the Supreme Neo-Demon reached his level was due to having an ancient entity like Zatiel guiding him.

The Supreme Neo-Demon could not care about what others think about him, but there was a gaze that drew his attention. He did not show anything on his face and headed at the King of the Scientia Kingdom's side.

Ezequiel's eyes showed friendship when he appeared in front of John Erick. He spoke with him when hidden forces were targeting the Daybreak Clan, and despite his weakness back then, the man treated him with respect, so he had a good impression of him.

The King of the Scientia Kingdom and the two princes clasped their hands, and the Supreme Neo-Demon did the same.

Although others may see his behavior as improper for a great organization's leader, John Erick did not care. He knew very well that Zatiel's right hand could only be a monster that defied logic, and he was not going to put on airs just because he was stronger due to his age.

"Will Teacher come?"

"No, Master has more important things to do. He sent me here in his place and told me to give you this if I see you." Ezequiel took two crystals from his space ring and handed them over to John Erick.

The moment the King of the Scientia Kingdom saw the crystals, excitement appeared on his face, and he inspected them right away.

There were the diagrams and theoretical knowledge for a Rank 4, Rank 5, and Rank 6 Animax Soul Rune in the first crystal. They all depicted the same rune, named Tempering Rune, with the Rank being the only difference.

As he analyzed the diagrams, disappointment appeared in John Erick's face. The runes were incredibly complex, with the lowest being as difficult as an average Rank 5 Animax Soul Rune, but that was it. They have no practical ability other than tempering Soul Origin.

When the other leaders saw that, they all glanced at each other. One of the reasons they all feared so much the Daybreak Clan was Zatiel's sway over John Erick Rebellion. If that were lost, many things would change, and by the expression on the King's face, he seemed not to have obtained what he hoped.

Shikra's eyes narrowed, as did the eyes of the young man with animal tattoos.

Unfortunately for them, after a moment, John Erick's eyes widened, and his body began to tremble as he understood the runes' true purpose.

The Tempering Runes only need a small amount of Soul Origin to be created and nothing else, allowing him to practice them nonstop.

"It's all about developing my foundation. If I master the one at Rank 6, then I would..."

John Erick Rebellion did not finish that sentence. Still, he knew in his heart that if he mastered the hardest Tempering Rune, his Animax Runemaster abilities would have reached the Rank 7 level!

The Tempering Rune's whole purpose was allowing an individual to train without caring about failure since they would lose almost nothing. The knowledge behind these runic diagrams could only belong to someone who surpassed the Rank 7 Animax Soul Runemaster.

After making sure to engrave everything in his mind, John Erick focused on the second crystal. He saw a compendium describing The Ultimate Rune Path that was even more complete than the one he got from the Magi World's leader's library.

"With these two things, I can achieve my goal!" The King of the Scientia Kingdom could not hide his shock and joy.

"My Master also told me to tell you that you have ten years to reach one hundred percent success in the Rank 4 Tempering Rune. If you fail, then you will no longer be part of the Daybreak Runecrafting School. His words were, I don't teach mediocre people."

Ezequiel's words awoke John Erick from his stupor. He had won his place as Zatiel's student by killing a Rank 6 life form, but now he would lose it if he failed to achieve that condition.

There was no anger or annoyance in his face, only a sense of pressure. He was a Rank 5 Animax Soul Runemaster, but that doesn't mean he would never fail.

"Brats, accompany Invictus and greet Lord Ivar in the name of the Scientia Kingdom if he appears." John Erick spoke those words before disappearing the next instant.
